In response to the immense toll of the combined forces of COVID-19, recent racial unrest, and the intense economic instability currently facing many BIPOC communities, Burnaway will award ten grants of $500 ($5,000 total) to Black, Indigenous, and other artists of color in the South.
BIPOC artists living and working in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia are eligible to apply for this grant. While all BIPOC artists in the coverage region are invited to apply, special consideration will be given to Black and Indigenous artists.
Deadline: Applications are due by 11:59 pm EDT on Sunday, July 12.
Grantees will be notified by Wednesday, July 15.
